Is big baby likely to mean earlier labour?

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

Looks like I am having a pretty big baby. Estimate 9lbs today at 38+2. Just wondered if other ladies who have had big babies found that they came pre due date? Xx

Nope sorry. My 3rd was 10lb exactly and 11 days late! Confused

I wish it were like that as I have been told I'm having a big baby this time but DS was 9lb9oz and 10 days late!

I'm 38+5 and would really like baby to arrive asap!

Nope sorry, impossible to predict (crossing fingers for you though!).

Important to bear in mind that weight estimate is not always particularly accurate.

No sorry last one was 10lb 8and I was induced at 40+4 no signs he was on his way! I'm expecting another whopper this time but not expecting this one to come early either!

Sorry, not here either. Last one was 10lb2 and 11 days late. I am hoping this one isn't as late!

Nope, I fact me and another woman I know had problems with our big babies heads engaging properly.

Nope my ds was 2 weeks late and although not heavy 8lb 8 he was 60cm long could hold his head up from day one mw said he shouldn't be able to do that errr clearly he can he's still massive at 4, looks more like a 6/7 year old
